For women (1–10)
After all, I’m an idolAKB48
AKB48 is a group that has been active for many years in Japan’s idol scene.
Since they’re still at the top of the scene today, there are probably many women who listen to their songs as well.
Among AKB48’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is NANTETTATTE IDOL.
This work is a cover of Kyoko Koizumi’s classic hit, featuring a flatter, more streamlined arrangement than the original.
As it’s an older song with a very simple vocal line, it’s a great choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
TomorrowFurui Riho
Singer-songwriter Furui Riho, who has gained popularity for her R&B-centered musical style.
When people hear R&B, many imagine it as difficult because advanced vocal techniques like melisma and falls appear frequently as if they were standard features.
That’s why I recommend Tomorrow.
This song has a very strong J-pop influence and doesn’t feature any tricky melismas at all.
On top of that, the vocal range is narrow, making it a perfect choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
ALL I WANTHirate Yurina
Yurina Hirate’s new song “ALL I WANT.” Back in her Keyakizaka46 days, she had a notably cool image for an idol, and that impression has only been sharpened since she became a solo artist.
This work lets you savor that very charm.
It’s a stylish J-pop track with a touch of R&B, and overall it features a relatively even, understated vocal line.
There aren’t many long sustained notes, so even those who aren’t confident in their vocal skills should be able to aim for a high score.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Changeatarashii gakkou no rīdāzu
With their edgy musicality and performance, the idol group ATARASHII GAKKO! has earned high acclaim not only in Japan but also overseas.
Known for their distinctive blend of hip-hop and kayōkyoku, that signature sound is alive and well in this work too.
In particular, this piece has a narrow vocal range, and there are no high notes in either the rap or the singing parts.
Instead, elements like rap flow are essential, making it recommended for those with a good sense of groove.
Give it a try!
bleeding loveHirate Yurina
Yurina Hirate, who was hugely successful as the center of Keyakizaka46, has been leveraging her mysterious persona to pursue a full-fledged career as an artist since graduating from the group.
Her new song is “bleeding love.” While it’s a track based on deep house, compared to songs by Becky Hill—known as a queen of this genre—the vocal line is crafted to be much catchier and easier to sing, making it surprisingly approachable.
There are no long sustained notes either, so it’s perfect for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
God knows…suzumiya haruhi (hirano aya)
“God knows…,” the in-story song from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, is famous for the cultural festival live performance.
It gets the crowd going from the very first note, and it’s an anime song that looks cool if you can sing it! The structure is easy to follow, so focus on expressiveness.
First, for the A verse, it’s best to sing quietly and calmly, with clear vowel articulation.
For the B verse, you’re heading toward the chorus, so sing without forcing your voice.
When the melody changes, lift your eyebrows to get ready.
Ride that momentum into the chorus, but be careful not to shout.
Aim to “project into the distance” rather than “yell.” In the last chorus, the key changes and the pitch goes up, so keep the same mindset—“send your voice even farther”! If you just watch the pitch bar honestly, you should be able to aim for a high score!
For women (ages 11–20)
Blooming at nightHoshimachi Suisei
Believe it or not, this song appeared in the 2025 JOYSOUND rankings and is getting attention as an easy one to sing at karaoke! It’s a perfect fit for today’s theme.
Listening to it, the range isn’t too wide compared to other songs by Suisei Hoshimachi, and it sits mostly in the mid-range, so the pitch should be easy to catch.
The overall vocal range is G#3–E5.
At first glance that might seem “high,” but the top note E5 only appears once, at the very end of the chorus.
You don’t need to belt it in chest voice—hitting it cleanly in head voice feels great! Focus on breath support and try popping the note out with a quick, controlled attack.
It’s also a groovy track, so keep your body in the groove and sing carefully to avoid slipping out of rhythm.
Be sure to learn it!
